Unchanging Human Nature

Look! There is the Lamb of God who takes away the world's sin.—John 1:29 (TLB)

At the cross of Christ, sin reached its climax. Its most terrible display took place at Calvary. It was never blacker or more hideous. We see the human heart laid bare and its corruption fully exposed. Some people have said that man has improved since that day, that if Christ came back today, He would not be crucified but would be given a glorious reception. Christ does come to us every day in the form of Bibles that we do not read, in the form of churches that we do not attend, in the form of human need that we pass by. I am convinced that if Christ came back today, He would be crucified more quickly than He was two thousand years ago. Sin never improves. Human nature has not changed.

Prayer for the day

Father, take away my thoughts and deeds that crucify Jesus afresh.

Indeed I too believe that if Jesus Christ came today, He would be crucified quicker. And as far as the sins of men and women, they just may be worse. Because in the last days men’s hearts have grown colder. And this is the only beginning of this hurting world.

We crucify Jeus, over and over, every single day when we sin. We must try with all our hearts, souls, and minds every single day to keep from sin and glorify Jesus Christ by keeping our souls stain free.
